Frontiersmen Rail, Law, and Boomtowns of Lincoln County
In 1883 Shoshone saw a rough town with 10 to 15 arrests daily as the Oregon Short Line reached the area and a telegraph line opened. Rail shops and a large roundhouse drew hundreds, but promoters and Kilpatrick Brothers slowed work before the February 7 1883 railroad arrival. The county’s creation followed in 1895, with Shoshone as seat, and later growth included Richfield and Dietrich as irrigation towns amid cattle and farming districts.
